Come to My Voice

Berfe is a woman of sixty. She lives in a snowy mountain village in eastern Turkey. Her eight year old granddaughter Jiyan is with her. The only man in the house is Temo. Temo is Berfe’s son and Jiyan’s father. One day the gendarmerie come to the village. The villagers are accused of hiding weapons. All the men are arrested because of it. The commanding officer says nobody will be released until the weapons are handed in. There are no weapons hidden in the village, though. Berfe and Jiyan know it and cannot make anyone listen. The two of them decide the answer is to set out. They will find a gun and trade it for Temo. The journey is long and hard. Feride Gezer and Tuncay Akdemir appear in the hundred and five minute film, a German, Turkish and French co-production Hüseyin Karabey finished in 2014.
